Something Sacrificed by Erin Fitzgerald

5.0

I guess you can tell how good a book is when it makes you feel all this raw emotions and makes them come alive. I felt joy, love, loss, grief, sadness, anger, blind rage and shock all through the pages of this book. I really, really liked this story. 

Miss Erin is becoming an instant grab/buy/read for me!

I found myself cursing at the characters and giving some eye rolls, as if it made a difference and they could hear me in the story (silly, silly me 🤭 )

I also get a little worked up with miscomunication and well this book has some! 

Genesis is a widower and a ranch owner in Montana. Will works helping ranches make profit, but lately has the need to settle down and find his place. 

They are friends, aquaintanced by her late husband, but never met in person. Besides that they already have some feelings toward one another even if they hide them (after all, how can you like someone you've never met?). 

When Will realises that he is working next to Gen, he does what any teenager (over forty!) Would do... he freezes and pretends to be someone else! Well that makes a difficult situation even harder. Mainly because Gen is seeing someone at the time (Ford) and is about to make a mistake that can cost her everything.

That angst that Gen was doing the wrong thing and throwing her chance at happiness away by settling (and settling so wrong) got me really worked up that I wanted to shake her to make her really see the good she had in front of her!

Of course that Will's lousy choice didn't helped this at all. He was so dumb to lie. And of course that as the time passed, the lie became bigger like a snow ball... 

And can we be any more mad at Ford.. gosh. I wanted to beat him up all the way through the book.

I liked the other side characters as well. It was goos to revisit some of our beloved past charaters and se them interact in the story. I love a found family and close unit so.. 

Well done!! Really well done!
